GPL has nothing to do with code being free (as in beer). Anyone can take code published under the GPL (WordPress for example) and start charging for it as long as all necessary conditions are met.
Hi there,
Apologies if this sounds either uninformed or inflammatory, but I have a few queries regarding the correct license to release the group wiki plugin under.
I want the code to be under a license that:
a) Makes sure that if the code is re-used anywhere, it is done so only for free (not ‘premium’) plugins. For instance, I wouldn’t want somewhere like WPMU Dev Premium to be able to package it up with a few tweaks and then start charging users for it…
b) Complies with the requirements for WordPress & BuddyPress licensing. I believe that this is a simple “Must be GPL if you’re using WordPress functions) but I’d happily take advice on this.
c) The usual/obvious one where I want credit for myself and the other plugin authors to be maintained.
I’m sure to most people on here that the answer is blindingly obvious and I should be using GPL, but I just wanted to double-check that I’ve not made any incorrect assumptions.
Did you find what the problem was in the child theme? I am having the EXACT same issue, with the ghost 1969 group creation and everything. In group creation, everything seems to work just fine until the upload avatar page, where the form doesn’t show up.
The only files I have customized are the header and footer templates, and they should have all the important WordPress/Buddypress snippets necessary. Is there something in particular I should be looking for?
Thanks for the comment David. I agree for a very robust solution a custom taxonomy would fit the bill. However a bare bones implementation might just use the group meta table.
I checked out this older plugin: BuddyPress Contents (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpcontents/installation/) which has serious tag and category support however it is no longer in development. But maybe i’ll dig in the code and see how he implemented it and try to salvage the parts i need.
Hi,
I am using buddypress 1.2 RC2 with standard wordpress 2.9.1 installation. Uploading group avatar is working fine. But when i try to crop the image after uploading group avatar, it disappears. If i am not cropping the image, then main image is appears, but thumbnail image is not created.
Member avatar is working fine. Only Group avatar creates problem.
I have posted it as a bug (Ticket #1890)
Please help me if anybody have any solution for this.
Thanks,
Jitto P.Jose
another thing…when you create a new link it shows that you have created the link so many hours ago but it takes the server time so all my links that I create is 4 hours in the past. Is there a workaround to this so that it takes the time setting you have setup in the settings of the wordpress MU settings page?
@paulhastings
There is a lot of pressure from the top of the food chain to move past classic theme. This is evident in the fact that classic theme will not even ship with 1.2 and has been relegated to the backwards compatibility plugin.
@NGO
Thanks for reporting that feed link bug, I have fixed it in trunk. I am not following what you mean regarding the comments issue.
@Gpo1
Auto-embedding refers to embedding content from the URL that is submitted. There is no support for automatic adding of all of a user’s content from a remote service.
@David Angel
Awesome! Are you running WP single or MU?
@Dwenaus
One other person has reported a similar problem, I am looking into it. Do you have BP installed in a sub directory of the document root by any chance?
@Everyone
This beta seems to be broken for quite a few people. However, geoffm33 has it working at 95% on a single WP install, and David Angel has it running as well, so there is probably some kind of install-specific issue that needs to be worked out. I will do my best to get to the bottom of it and put out another beta ASAP.
In the meantime, you might want to try the development version which I have updated today with some fixes that might work for some of you that are having problems. It also might make things worse, so have courage!

@erich73, na Bueb, das’is n’Gstanzel ! Net von Dir !
@DJ, did you read my post ? I expected the same problem with a standard install…
So it remains the problem of memory.
My host give the possibility to install automatically CMS’s like joomla, wordpress or wpmu, drupal etc to his customers on any of his shared offers. From the cheapest to the most expensive !
Do you really think he would do that if these tools can’t work because of an unapropriate memory appetite ?
So what is the minimal size to rent on a shared host to have an operating install with the actual and next coming version ?
And please, don’t tell me i have to go to wordpress.com 
Well, it might. All those strings you translate get put into memory at run-time. 20Mb is extremely small for a WordPress/BuddyPress site especially if on a shared server.
Plus, BuddyPress isn’t supported on WordPress 3.0-alpha because, obviously, it’s in alpha. WordPress 3.0-alpha might have huge memory leaks which could be giving you this problem. I would urge you to stick to WP or WPMU 2.9.* for now
Hrrm… That’s interesting, but the thing about my issue is that I would like to default to user_login and not user_nicename (user_nicename is causing the problem).
From your fix, I’d simply have to imagine that it should already be doing what I want, but it doesn’t. It attempts to always put in user_nicename.
It’s very confusing. It’s also very disappointing. BuddyPress seemed to have promise for a few applications at my university, but I’m not going to be able to use it effectively without being able to use usernames that essentially look like emails (they would be Shibboleth eppns).
I don’t get it, why is BuddyPress such a pain about usernames? If BuddyPress is a WordPress Mu plugin, it should work with any username that is valid in WordPress… I can only assume this is some kind of bug within BuddyPress itself, and I’ll continue treating it as such.
These are all that I’m aware of:
Cometchat is working on a BuddyPress integration with friends support. It’s a paid script.
http://www.cometchat.com/
Bowob Chat works, but does not have a friend feature, also you might get the plugin author’s ads on your site. Free (w/ ads).
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bowob/
Footerchat is another possibility, again, it has no friends support and you will get some ads occasionally. Free (w/ ads).
http://www.footerchat.com/
Webbychat is another. Has a basic free option, which only supports up to 10 users. Variable paid options are available. You’ll have to manually configure the script to work with BP.

what flavor wordpress and what setup on your server?
If groups is disabled, the Forums link doesn’t go anywhere. Shouldn’t it simply be hidden? Maybe there’s a reason behind this?
[wordpress2.9.1 + 1.2-rc2]
That’s cool someone took the time to write a book on Buddypress. Unfortunately there is the lag time with printing paper. I like the model used by the guys who did “Digging into WordPress”.
You can get a print copy but you also get a digital download with a lifetime (what ever that will mean) of updates. What ever the vehicle for the PDF book is that they used I don’t know but it is good and easy to use. I really like having it and look to it before Googling an answer (time suck).
For regular WordPress, you need at a minimum BP 1.2-RC2. 1.1.3 doesn’t work with regular WordPress, only the MU version
this is too happening with me if u just remove the buddypress plugin then wordpress is works fine
my url is http://frenzi.in/blog where my wordpress (2.9.1) blog is located i was advised that to install buddy press 1.1.3
speaking of book releases, WordPress Bible by Aaron Brazell with Mark Jaquith came out yesterday — now that’s a keeper.
Yeah, you can do that. It will take some work. Just add in all the profile fields you’d like to use for the ‘business listing’ and then display those fields in a directory of sorts using custom template files. Or you could style up a member ‘blog’ theme that is formatted as a ‘listing’ with maybe some edit in place ajax functionality that’ll allow a member to enter their business info and restricts them from doing anything else. That way you could use sitewide queries to build a directory of these ‘listings’. I can’t say there’s a cut and paste sorta plugin to achieve this, but the best place to start would be here and here.
interesting? you can use sunrise.php to support multiple domains with one user table, but I’m not sure how site_url() (BuddyPress) would react to it. Search for wpmuguru. He’s really good with configuring multiple domains/databases on multi-user. It would be interesting to test and with enough custom code, you could make almost anything happen
ps.. you should mark the topic as resolved since this really isn’t a direct support question.
Using WPMU 2.9.1.1, BP trunk installed in a subdirectory and a fresh install of BP Links bleeding, I get a wordpress “Page Not Found” for the links directory.
Also, if the “BP Links” settings menu can reside under the main BuddyPress menu, that would be great.
Thanks for releasing a beta!
With mine activated here is what happens:
- All activity is filtered/stream is now empty
- Links item in top menu results in a 302 redirect to the document root
- Pasting a link in the activity text area has no effect.
Buddypress: trunk
Wordpress: 2.9.1
Buddypress Links 0.3-beta
Child theme (bp-default parent) that alters headers.php, sidebar.php, index.php, footer.php
Thanks!!
